We love Neil, which is why we keep asking him back: to transfix us with his stories, which are spooky and funny, and have won shitloads of awards, too many to mention. There'll be music, too, by Jherek Bischoff and local musicians, and a special guest... hint: Neil's got the hots for her, massively, and she has a ukulele.

"I'm doing an Evening With Neil Gaiman. Stories and suchlike. Jherek Bischoff and I are planning the music to accompany at least one of the readings. (There may be other surprise guests too.)"

#1 New York Times best-selling author and Newbery medalist NEIL GAIMAN joins New York Times best-selling illustrator ADAM REX for an appearance at Books of Wonder where they will sign copies of their new picture book. No reading or presentation is planned.

LINE NUMBER DISTRIBUTION:
Numbers will be distributed beginning at 10am the day of the signing, to reserve your place in line. For those with a higher number who wish to leave the store and return later, BoW will be tweeting what numbers we're lining up so that you may monitor where we are in the process and gauge when to return to the store so you don't miss your spot in line.

SUGGESTION:
To save yourself time, BoW advises pre-ordering and paying for your books at the store before the day of the event, so you can get in the express line to pick up your books and a number that day.
